All of my programs do and are tested for such things. I hate defragging a system only to have files to stuff that doesn't exist taking up time and space.

HDD's?

Ugh, what are you, a caveman?

I still have large UWSCSI and Fibre Channel RAIDs that give me insane throughput. 15K and 20K RPM drives, striped to the outer tracks. SSDs are only now catching up in bandwidth (though they've had better IOPS for half a decade.)

Not bad. But if bandwidth is an issue invest in a PCIe SSD. 

I'll never go back to HDD's, not unless it's for networking or backup purposes.

I'm a middle child myself and I remember the time when I stopped hanging around my older sister and wanted nothing to do with her. I can see both sides of this really, from hindsight. I just hope I can be closer to them and around more than my older sister was for me, I haven't said a word to her since she had her wedding months ago. I legitimately like them and I want to somewhat be their friend...

I can somewhat relate but only for the older sister thing as I'm child 3 of 3, so... I do really get along with my younger cousins though so there's that to make up for my lack of younger siblings.

In any case, in family you're put together with other people by pure chance, the only thing that you're guaranteed to have in common is blood. I personally don't think I'm obliged to get along with my relatives just because we're family. If they are unrelatable I'm not going to give them a free pass just because of that, like with my brother. You do sound like a good brother though if you are willing to stick together with your siblings and show that you'll be there for them. Top respect. Now THAT's what an older sibling should do for the younger ones. I wish I had a brother like that

Also, holy shit is your family numerous! 7 kids! Wow, your parents must be wealthy to be able to sustain that many people as well as more patient than your average parent. Handling 3 kids must already be difficult, 7 should be a nightmare. People who engage in such commitments are pretty badass: raising 7 kids certainly is no walk in a park. Personally, I really, REALLY wouldn't have the patience

If I could be described in 3 traits what would it be? 

(Sorry, I'm just finishing up my sim: nothing serious)

Shy, faithless (as in, you don't believe much in yourself), socially awkward, reflective, intelligent (you got a high IQ score if I remember correctly)

 

 

 

Edit: Sorry for the double post, was expecting the site to merge the two

So that should be...

Loner(?), Genius, and- I actually don't know which trait would cover faithless.

Yeah its really only my two younger sisters I make a great effort for, they're the most like me, one of them more than the other but still. I do get along well with my direct family but things can get pretty rocky with some of my cousins and their mother. 

Actually we were never really wealthy, but are spaced out so they never really raised more than 3 of us at once. 2 are long gone and out of state my older sister is around but kinda out of contact now and I hang around a lot. It's pretty much the the twins and my little brother growing up still.

I am super curious to know what's the reason of this ''rockiness'' you speak of but hey I reckon it's private stuff so I won't snoop (do tell me more 'bout it though if it's no problem, just puttin' this out there, yanno... Only if you're comfortable with it)

Right, right, that's reasonable. How old are the kids again?

My aunt and her brood are a bitchy and always had a problem with me and a few of my siblings. I was never afraid to stir things up either so I normally skip on the get together they're all going to be at. There hasn't really been anything in a few years, but last time my aunt went on a huge exposé to the rest of the family when she or one of her kids caught wind I was gay. To which pretty much the rest of the family didn't give a shit and she got pretty much blown off and called out. I'm sure she still curses my name under her breath sometimes.

As for the siblings, the two ahead of my are 27 and 25, I'm 22, and the younger ones are 19, 14 and the twins are both 12.

Wow, she sounds like a real bitch. The hell's her problem, she some of them super stuck-in-the-past conservative maybe even hyper-religious types or something? Anyway, I'm glad to hear you could count on your family and owned her, dude

I should make a ''Meet the *insert your username here*-sons'' thread where everyone presents their family and stuff. I told myself to make it but never got around to actually do it. I WILL fix that. Soon. Ish. It should be interesting. O boy o boy I can feel the my snooping instinct intensify!

I dunno, she's always had it out fora few of us. Almost no one ever sides with her besides her kids

*log into Facebook*

*see a video at the top of my feed auto-playing*

*see a bucket and things being thrown into a river from it thinking "huh, I wonder what's in that bucket"*

*realize that the things being thrown were puppies*

*close facebook*

Thanks Facebook. That's definitely what I wanted to see today.

I get home from work, and one of the first things that happens is that one of my old co-workers who I was good friends with died today. On top of that one of the last things she talked about was how she missed me of all people.

Jesus...

I feel for you, I've lost a few people now in various ways. You want to talk about it? I could try. : )

Saw some awesome steampunk goggles on Ebay, a bit pricey but I like they way they look. I liked the body on one pair of goggles but the accessories on the other, so I tried to ask the seller if they'd switch them. It would just require moving the accessories between goggles as they're all attached by hose clamps or screws.

Ebay wouldn't let me ask a question about the specific item so I had to be deceptive and click the "Not about an item" checkbox. I hope they get back to me because if they don't, it may be the difference between them getting a sale or not.

Well shit, some fuckers were doing some inappropriate shit at the local bowling furmeet, in the bathroom. Supposedly. Either that or someone at that alley had a hate-on for furs and lied. Dunno.

But the alley kicked us out. So expect a pretty profane rant in the R&R forum. There may be a lot of profanity and the use of furfag, faggot, cunts, fuckers, whores, and other triggering words, so please check your privilege at the door, and if you need a safe space there's tumblr.

I am so tired all the time. I'm not even staying up too late. I've taken to caffeine in the morning and still feel like I'm about to fall asleep at my desk.

I've been getting that a lot lately too. Its gotten so bad occasionally that last Wednesday I didn't wake up till 3pm, laid back down at 5:30pm, didn't get back up till like,  1:30am or something.

Employ @6tails to be your personal chef/dietician. Half his food looks delicious, other half looks like it'd give you 1.21 gigawats of energy.

Drop the caffeine, add more fruit to the beginning and end of your day.

But my morning/evening V8 + Energy has a cup of coffee-worth of caffeine AND a full serving of fruits and vegetables! :Y

In all seriousness, though, your right: I have indeed been neglecting my previously daily fresh fruit habit. I should give that a try. I've been neglecting my cooking show attendance habit, too! Tsk, tsk!

Found a clever joke from another site

 

"9 slapped 8.

8 asked "why u slapped me"?

9 replied "you are inferior to me, so I slapped"

Upon hearing this, 8 went to 7 and slapped 7 harder.

When asked by 7 why, 8 gave the same reply that 9 gave. 

"You are inferior to me".

Likewise, 

7 slapped 6.
6 slapped 5.
5 slapped 4.
4 slapped 3.
3 slapped 2.
2 slapped 1.

Now 1 has 0 as its inferior.

But, instead of slapping 0.....

1 welcomed 0 with love. Allowed 0 to stand next to it. 

The duo became 10.

Tables turned and it is now number 9's due to get slapped."

In other words nothing is inferior to one

We are about to start our third new-process meeting. It is destined to be a trainwreck like the last two. The new local bureaucrat's presence makes it difficult to pass the time with the forums. Where did I put my cyanide capsule...

It's in your molar man
